About the Word On The Street Tour

Luke Bryan announced the Word On The Street Tour as his first major headlining run in two years, and country fans wasted no time piling onto pre-sales. The routing covers more than thirty cities, including amphitheater favorites like the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in Gilford, Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, Pine Knob in Detroit, and the historic Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy. The arena leg includes Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, the United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock, and Ottawa's Canadian Tire Centre.

The tour's name and vibe lean into Luke's small-town, neighborhood-block-party persona. The show is built on hits, but it leaves room for storytelling - Luke is one of the most personable performers in country music, and his between-song banter often turns into an extended conversation with the crowd. Expect a mix of beach-country anthems, slow-burn ballads, and the kind of sing-alongs that turn an amphitheater lawn into a giant chorus line.

Setlists rotate but typically pull from across his catalog: "Country Girl (Shake It For Me)", "Play It Again", "That's My Kind Of Night", "Drink A Beer", "Crash My Party", "Most People Are Good", "Knockin' Boots", "Drunk On You", "Country On", and the title track "Word On The Street." Luke has been known to add covers and surprise duets when openers are willing, so no two shows are exactly alike.

This summer's opening lineup is one of the deepest Luke has ever brought on the road. Drew Baldridge joins early dates after his viral "She's Somebody's Daughter" run; RaeLynn, Lauren Watkins, and Randall King bring their own audiences along. Newer voices like Karley Scott Collins, Shane Profitt, Lanie Gardner, Zach John King, and Jake Worthington round out the bill, and house DJ DJ Rock keeps the energy up between sets. Specific openers vary city to city - the official tour announcement on the Live Nation newsroom has the breakdown.

Luke's connection with country radio runs deep. He has racked up more than thirty No. 1 singles, sold over 75 million records worldwide, and earned the Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year award multiple times. He is also a longtime American Idol judge, which has only widened his reach with younger audiences. But his real home is the stage, and the Word On The Street Tour is a reminder of why he became a stadium-and-amphitheater fixture in the first place.

One of the marquee festival stops on the run is the Carolina Country Music Festival at Burroughs and Chapin Pavilion Place in Myrtle Beach, where Luke shares the bill with Riley Green, Blake Shelton, and Post Malone for a four-day country blowout.
